Absolute Scenes Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Hibs paid about 500k for Doidge when he arrived. Definitely not worth that. They’ve been so desperate for a striker they’re willing to spend outwith their means. His scoring record in Dutch second league should be nothing to fear and I won’t fear a single Hibs player. If Palermo wanted him they’d have gotten him, it’s that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he likes to strike the ball early ( first thought is to shoot ) In short he could be good in this league but then he could turn out to be total shite. The Eredivisie is not too dissimilar to Scotland. Barring the big 3 or 4 the standard is pretty poor. We probably have a higher av. attendance than all but Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord. This guy has had two prolific seasons in the lower division. So they’ve essentially paid £700k for the Dutch Brian Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is generally zero difference between free agents and >£1m. Kio at around £450k is the best example of that. IF we ever go big and by big I mean millions, then I’d want it to be for a tried and tested player who has a high chance of success and sell on.

Chuck Berry Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 He'll score goals, he looks a penalty box striker, but the league he has come from, Roda finished below three B teams and where the Champions scored 103 and RU scored 99, in 38 games. Roda scored 49. He's been overlooked by bigger clubs who were allegedly interested, and he's coming into a league where he won't find it as easy. He could make Hibs money, on the other hand he could flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gogic ffs Haha, know what you mean! Mind you, the first double header I'd say was the start of the decline as far as Robbie deciding we should play without a midfield! And the game post-split, I mean if the ref is going to let him do what he wants, it's hard to combat. But we need to combat it. We should have spent some time first half missing out midfield - just put some balls down the side for Gino, or Oda to run down and try to pin them in from there and play some football in the final third. Instead, we passed it around the back before trying to find Shanks centrally and Gogic just cut it out every time (often with an unpunished foul, one which could easily have been a red) I think we'll be better off this season. Beni, Haring, Cam and The Hoff is a right good midfield pool to chose from imo - we hopefully have a complete nomark like Gogic chasing shadows. Not a massive "play Toby in midfield" guy - it's become something of a "fill the corners", but a game like that you maybe put Toby in away at St Mirren and tell him to deal with Gogic, cos I think he would. Maybe daft, but its a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gogic ffs To be fair it was more down to the one dimensional way we played at the time. Robinson told Gogic to simply stay touch-tight to Snodgrass. He knew he would get passed the ball at every opportunity so it was a perfect scenario for a dumpling like Gogic to do. If he tried the same tactic against Beni he would get tied in knots!
